HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

This waterheater is equipped with an automatic gas shut off sys- tem. The high temperature shut off is built into the gas control valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater burners when high water temperatures are present. It is non- resettable.If the high temperature shut offactivates, the gas con- trol valve must be replaced. If this were to occur,turn _OFF_'the

entire gas supply to the water heater. Contact the Sears Service Center.

&WARNING

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may be hotter

than the thermostat setting.

Short, frequent draws of hot water - especially with very cold incoming water - can shock the thermostat into brief operation resulting in hotter and hotter layers of water closer to the top of the tank.

Changes in hot water usage patterns or raising the tem- perature differential between the cut-on of the thermo- stat and the cold water temperature will usually eliminate the problerr_
